6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Why do I sweat between my legs all the time, top off my legs, all way down?
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
Not only will you be saving the environment and helping retrain your body to internally regulate your temperature, but you’ll become stronger by saying “no” to ease, and “yes” to adversity.
as a Navy SEAL.
strength over time.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
What was the worst decision you ever did?
Start this off by doing it for one day.
toughness is to meditate.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
What is the best comeback you used on someone?
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Leave a bowl of candy on the table. Leave an open pack of cigarettes in your office. Go to an, *ahem* “gentlemanly” website and leave it open in a minimized browser.
Why would Trump make conspiracy claims that Haitians are eating pets in Ohio?
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
1. Cold Showers
Are landlords allowed to make unreasonable requests?
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Our lives are way too easy.
strength?
Seriously.
This exercise will teach you to keep going even when things are hard and, if applied regularly, will help you become mentally tougher than any other person you know.
It’s funny…
What is your review of the Redmi 9A? Is it worth buying?
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Another great way to boost your mental
5. Give Up a Vice
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
DON’T do this on the bench press or squat rack if you don’t have a spotter (there’s nothing mentally tough about breaking your back or killing yourself ok?)
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
What is your opinion about homosexuality? Do you think that it is by nature or a choice?
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
What do you think about a sister's love?
In the same way that you can’t go to the gym, deadlift 225 lbs. for 5 reps one week and then expect to lift 405 lbs. for 5 reps the next week, you can’t expect to just wake up one day and be as mentally strong
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
7. Go Through Hell Week
What is the opposite personality type of someone with ASPD (antisocial personality disorder)?
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
There’s nothing quite like intentionally subjecting yourself to frigid waters and saying “No” to the wonderful warmth of a hot shower when it’s only one twist of the handle away requires insane amounts of discipline and grit.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Try pushing yourself to see how long you can go and, eventually, you’ll wonder why you used climate control in the first place (maybe not… But you’ll still be mentally tougher).
Plain and simple.
Mental
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
So apply these strategies slowly. Take small steps and challenge yourself to get 1% tougher every day. After a year has gone by, you’ll be 365% tougher than you were the previous year.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Whether it’s total sobriety combined with waking up at 5 a.m., daily exercise, and no television for a week.Or simply one week of giving up your strongest addiction.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Add 1–2 minutes each week and, overtime, not only will you be mentally tougher, but you’ll be more present, less stressed, and more productive in your everyday life.
The same way you get physically stronger…
Increase the amount of time you spend in the cold by only 10–30 seconds a week and, after a few months, you’ll be able to take 10 minute cold showers with ease.
strength.
Try it… You’ll see.
2. One More Rep
I’m just better at handling the suck.
toughness.
Challenge yourself to do something seemingly impossible for a short amount of time and you will walk away with more mental toughness than you’ve ever had before.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
While I don’t recommend giving up sleep for a week and doing thousands of pushups (unless you have a thing for broken bones and screwed up joints), I challenge you to create your own Hell Week.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
strength isn’t rocket science.
Cold showers suck. I’ve taken them (almost) everyday for nearly 6 years and they don’t suck any less today than they did when I started.
4. Meditate
If you are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.
Whether it’s cigarettes, candy, pot, alcohol, or porn, pick a vice that you use everyday, and commit to giving it up for a short period of time.
So how do you cultivate mental
3. Turn Off the AC
toughness by turning the AC off.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
